"Putting real faces to a place"

We took a private 2 days tour with Mr Hong from AsiaTourAdvisor.com to the Mai Chau valley, which involved lunch with a host family.
Travel's a very personal thing. We would rather not be herded from one bogus Disneyland ride to another, getting our photo taken in the same spot as everyone else.
We want to see the real face of the places we visit and the AsiaTourAdvisor.com helped us do that in Mai Chau. We met, ate and drank with many generous charming tribespeople. We were also first hand to the stark reality of rural life in Mai Chau - little sanitation/toilets, terrible infrastructure, campfire indoors without ventilation, hunger for some, and its fair share of poverty-exposed related social problems.
